SECOND READING.

"What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justice, and to love

mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"--_Micah 6:8._

THE name of the leader of the Jews, when they came home from Babylon to

their own country was Zerubabel.

Zerubabel was their prince. He was of David's family, and he would

have been king if the Jews had been allowed to have kings; but he was

contented to go back without the crown and throne and sceptre that his

fathers had had before him, and to live humbly in obedience to the king

of Babylon.
